Method used to separate Petrol from crude oil is:
Method used to separate Petrol from crude oil is:
- A. Distillation
- B. chromatography
- C. substallisation
- D. fractional distillation
Step-by-step solution
Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with different boiling points. Fractional distillation uses a fractionating column to separate components based on their boiling points, allowing petrol to be collected as a distinct fraction. Simple distillation is insufficient for such a mixture, chromatography is for separating dissolved substances, and crystallization is for solids.
